Supplication
27
His supplication for the honoured month of Shabaan

O Allah send blessings on Mohammed and his progeny,
here me whenever I beseech You and be attentive whenever I elegeuose You
as I have running and have presented myself in Your Presence.
I am helpless in front of You, I am a complainant in Your court.
Present me the rewards which You have reserved for me and You are well
aware of my inner thoughts. You are aware of my needs.
You are knowing about the affairs of my heart and nothing is hidden from
You, and whatever I wish to say and the thing which I intend to speak (You
are fully aware of) You have decreed my destiny.
O Allah You are aware of all the actions which I will be performing till
my last day.
Either openly or secretly, no one has any power of it except You. Either
it is in excess or in less measure, either in profit or in loss.
My Lord if You deny me then who is there to sustain me, and if You make me
unsuccessful then who is there to support me.
My Lord I seek refuge from You in the descending of Your wrath and Your
chastisement. O Allah! Although I am not eligible for Your Mercy but You
can still shower You grace on me.
O Allah! Whose heartedly I have presented myself in Your presence which is
under the shade of Your forgiveness.
O Allah! If You pardon me then is there any one else other than You who
can forgive me, even if my death has approached, and my deeds have not
made me reach Your Presence, thus I have made my acceptance of sins a
means of intercession.
My Lord! While taking care of my soul I have done injustice on it, and if
You do not forgive it then it will be destroyed.
O Allah! Your obligation were on me the whole life, do not discontinue it
after my death.
Why should I loose hope of it when during my life-time.
You have done nothing but goodness with me.
My Lord! Be compassionate in my transactions and oblige this sinner who is
covered by his ignorance.
My Lord You have covered my sins in this world and I require this covering
in the hereafter.
O Allah You have obliged me by covering my sins from Your pious people and
so do not degrade me on the day of Judgement in front of Your creation.
O Allah Your grace has expanded my hopes and Your forgiveness is greater
than my deeds.
O Allah the day on which You will account the creatures, put me among good
people by Your grace.
My Lord my excuse is like the excuse of a person who does not have any
hope of his excuse being accepted. O the Generous o all the generous to
whom all go taking excuses.
O Allah do not turn down my requests, overtook my desires and cut down my
hopes.
O Allah! If You had been of my desires You would have never guided me and
if You had decided to degrade me, You would have never saved me.
My Lord! I don't feel that You will not accept this supplication for which
I have ended up my life.
O Allah! Praise is for You always and forever which ever increases and
never lessens in the manner You approve of it.
O Allah! I if You have decided to punish me for my crimes then I will not
leave You for Your forgiveness and if You have apprehended me for my sins
then I will not leave You for Your Mercy and if You send me to Hell then I
will inform Hell that I loved You.
If due to my worship my deeds are low, but still my hopes are high due to
Your hopefulness.
O my Lord! How can I go hopelessly and dejected from Your presence when I
was hopeful of Your Generosity that I will return after being pardoned.
O Allah I spent the whole life forgetting Your presence and my youth,
being away from You.
O Allah! I was arrogant for Your forgiveness and not being aware of
treading the path of Your wrath.
My Lord I am Your creature and son of Your creature, present before You
and have made Your grace an intercessor before You. My Lord I am Your
slave who has repented for all the sins which I have committed in Your
presence after being careless of Your warnings and I seek forgiveness from
You because pardoning is one of Your characteristics.
My Lord! I lack the strength that I follow the same way and save myself
from Your wrath, but this happened when Your love made me aware and so I
have become as You wished me to be.
Now I thank You for entering the door of Your grace and that my heart has
become pure from the stains of carelessness about You.
My Lord, look at me as You look up at those who call upon You, and he whom
You have ordered a thing and he has abided by it.
O He who is never away from His servants and O the generous who is never
miser in rewarding the doers of good.
O Allah grant me such a heart which brings me nearer to You and that
tongue whose truthfulness raises my head in Your presence, and those eyes
whose right makes me nearer to You.
My Creator! He is not a stranger who has got fame due to You. And who is
under Your shelter is never abandoned as upon whom You have put Your
generous look he is nobody's slave.
O Allah who is nearer to You is alive at heart and one who is attached to
You finds refuge and I have also asked protection in Your presence.
O Allah, my Lord and Master don't disappoint the one who has hopes in You
and don't drive away from Your favours.
O Allah accord me that status which You have bestowed upon Your beloved
servants.
O Allah inculcate in me Your love after every remember.
By Your name forgive me and make me near pure ones. My Lord by Your grace
it is Your might that You made me reach to the position of Your obedient
and pleasing servants, because I don't have the power to uplift my soul.
O Lord I am a dependant slave in Your kingdom. I am a repentant and
seeking forgiveness, do not include me among those group from whom You
have turned away and their carelessness has stopped Your forgiveness.
O Allah grant me the grace to cut off relations with this world and make
me Yours.
Grand my heart the light which inclines towards You so much that it
reaches to understand Your greatness, and our soul is directed towards
You,
My Lord put me among those people who have accepted Your message, You have
seen them and seeing Your Honour they have lost control of their selves.
You have whispered to them and they have done difficult action for You,
O Allah don't prevail helplessness on my good hopes, and don't cut my
hopes by Your mercy.
My Lord if my errors have put me down in Your presence, You overlook it,
as I have great trust in You. Although my sins have not made me capable of
Your excellent grace, but Your attention has made me bow down.
My Lord! If my carelessness has made me negligent of Your meeting then
recognizing Your bounties has made me alert. O Allah if Your great
chastisement calls me towards hell then Your great rewards have invited me
towards heaven.
O Allah I ask from You and hope from You I have a request, send blessings
on Mohammad and his progeny the pure, and include me among those who
remember You. Who are never unmindful of Your remembrance, who never take
Your commands for granted.
O Allah grant me such a light by which I can gain Your recognition and
obey You, be afraid of You, think only of You, O the possessor of Honour
and Might!
O Allah! Send blessings on Your prophet Mohammad and his progeny and grant
them abundance safety.
